A redirect may or may not affect the admin as well as the admindb
interface. It depends on the specifics of the web server configuration.
You need to do two things:
1) View the source of an admindb page and note the action= URL in the
form tag. If it is a relative URL, prepend the initial portion of the
URL in the browser's address bar to get an absolute URL.
2) Look at the web server's configuration and figure out what it does to
process that URL and if it just does the POST or if it redirects or
rewrites it somehow.
Somebody else's mess or not, someone is going to have to figure out what
the web server is doing with these requests.

If you can get the ISP to enable VERP delivery, the address sent to is
in the envelope sender and the Sender: and Errors-To: headers of the
message in the form <LISTNAME-bounces+user=users.domain <at> example.com>.

The Received: headers of the message may contain something like
Received: from mail.python.org (mail.python.org [82.94.164.166])
(using TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits))
(No client certificate requested)

for <mark <at> msapiro.net>; Thu, 31 May 2012 23:43:50 -0700 (PDT)
where the "for <mark <at> msapiro.net>" indicates the recipient. This is
dependent on the MTAs that the message passes through between Mailman
and the recipient.
